Mabon

~Personal Note~ I was having problems accessing my Blogger account so this originally posted as Lughnasadh again, this is because I copied and pasted it in order to schedule the post, that I might edit it from my smartphone. Please forgive me it has been edited and fixed, albeit two months after it posted.

Mabon, the Autumn Equinox.

September 21st, It is the time of the autumn equinox, and the harvest is winding down. The fields are nearly empty, because the crops have been plucked and stored for the coming winter. Mabon is the mid-harvest festival, and it is when we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. For many traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings.

As a spiritual holiday, Mabon represents the balance between light and dark, a thresh-hold holiday, personifying "A time that is not a time." In a more practical aspect it is a time to give thanks for the harvest that there is enough to carry your family through the dark months of winter. It is customary to give an offering to the earth that the next harvest be plentiful.

Make notes on your Altar, herbs you use. Deities.Incense recipe or Anointing oil.

For me the strongest connections to marigold, sage and nuts. But that won't be the same for everyone. Put some thought into it. Here is another post that is a great reference.
